Sometimes, there are valid arguments regarding transgender matters. For example, someone that has medically-induced higher levels of testosterone might have a resulting advantage in aggressive sports. I don't know if that's true or not, but it's at least worth discussing it openly and honestly. What I find odd though is that the people that make transgender matters in sports their main issue say they do it for fairness, especially in support of women. However, these same people tend to have misogynistic views everywhere else in politics, so I'm supposed to accept that this one particular thing is where they finally started caring about equality?? It just seems so inauthentic.
My sister is one of these people. She's suddenly all about equality in sports. What?! When has she ever cared about anything or anyone besides herself and her kids as an extension?? When has she cared about fairness?? It's so uncharacteristic of her to think that way, that I have trouble believing anything she has to say on the matter.
Khelif is an athlete who trained for years to perfect her skills and talent. Khelifs skill gave her the honor of representing her country at an international level at the Olympics.
This MAGA lady, whose name I won’t even bother looking up, doesn’t really bring much to the table in terms of skill, talent or vision. This maga lady isn’t even the best sexist out there and is just riding on the coattails of better, smarter or more accomplished bigots. Why do people give losers like this lady any attention at all?
I watched the Khelif vs Carini fight and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I'm an actual fan of women's combat sports and I've seen them kick each other in the head way harder than anything in that match. Khelif had faster hands and better positioning. She earned the win.
I'm related to several collegiate level women athletes and none of them give a shit about trans women in sports. I've never met a trans woman who'd even come close to competing with them.
The people who are most concerned about keeping trans women from competing don't even watch women's sports. Hell, I doubt they even bothered to watch the 45 second fight yet have all kinds of opinions about it.
I knew it would be this lady before I even clicked the link. She’s not just a GOP weirdo—she’s a fucking loon. Like deranged enough that she’s going to hurt somebody.
"because before if a man hit a woman, it used to land him in jail"
So she also virtue signals about being against "domestic abuse". I bet the very moment they no longer need to hide it, Project 2025 will suddenly also involve the allowing of "abuse of wives by their husbands, as a treat, if the husband is justifiably angry on that day at anything".
She, well hold on...so looking at that face she's making, all I can think is when she has hateful sex she eonly gets off when spitting or being spit in the face...
we could, at any time, 'deal' with this woman in a way that ensures no other fascist shitbags would ever be brave enough to open their bigoted mouths again, but y'all are chickenshit, so she will continue to run her stupid mouth and influence other morons.

Is she a tankie? If not she might be happy to find out there’s a whole community dedicated to calling anything that slightly reveals their intellectual shortcomings “fascist”.
